The approach taken in this Bill is to dispense with reference to notice of the barring order application and provide that where, having regard to the circumstances of the case, the court considers it necessary or expedient in the interests of justice, an interim barring order can be granted ex parte, that is, in the absence of, and without notice to, the respondent. Where the court decides that it is neither necessary nor expedient in the interests of justice to make the order ex parte, it can require notice to be served on the respondent of the application for the interim order. Paragraph (b) of section 1 of the Bill makes a largely similar amendment to section 5(4) of the Act dealing with protection orders. I will refer to that matter later.
